The saying that ‘what men can do women can do better’ could be seen to be applicable in the working life of Mrs. Lawretta Odawulu, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of Odic Electrical Company Limited.

She has demonstrated an infectious leadership and managerial skill in turning around the fortunes of the company which started as a trading company years back under the leadership of her late husband. She led the company to commence the production of one of the first indigenous brands of electrical wires and telecommunications cables with over a hundred employees to cater for.

Mrs. Odawulu is a product of Lagos State University and University of Ado-Ekiti, having obtained a Masters Degree in Educational Management, Planning and Policy as well as a Bachelor Degree in Home Economics, respectively. Mindful of the enormity of the responsibility before her, she has attended numerous conferences on Leadership and Management both within and outside the country.

With her firm belief in the effective delivery of result as against the usual hardwork, Mrs. Odawulu has positioned the Odic brand of wires and cables as safety and standards conscious products in Nigeria and West Africa with foreign technical partners.
Lawcious Lawretta has threaded where many people could not and entrenched her foot-prints in her area of operations, with visible value in the society. This is a feat that earned her a place in the 2013 Class of MMS Plus’ Woman of Fortune Hall of Fame as a role model.

We welcome Lawcious Lawretta into the Hall of Fame.
